A friend is getting a m4a79t deluxe board and was woindering which ram speed to buy, qvl says 1333, I know it will oc but should he get 1600 to put in it or just up the speed of decent 1333 mem. G.skill DDR3 is the mem he is concidering.

There's really no difference between DDR3 RAM for i7s and for AMD CPUs. AMD systems don't support triple-channel though, so you'll have to either get a pair of sticks or get a set of three and not use the third/run it in single-channel mode.
